Black's are just haft African we have other cultures in us as well African American history is good to know but we to embrace our other ethnicities too it's not much
Thank you for this very compelling interview of our national treasure, Dr. Henry Louis Gates. My reading list just got longer! But I'm surprised there was no mention of Maya Angelou - is she not considered important at this point? And if not, why?
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 Yes, perhaps on ...either side, both or neither side.... of 'The Sentiment' an integrally greater care for emergent greater, higher and truer ...sentience, salience, and sapience.... is possible coming forth (in proposals) and going forward (in projects). I am currently considering a ...rooted, public, and inte-..... (...historical, philosophical and sciento-technological....) cosmopolitanism in which an integral inte- embraces and engages ...meta-, trans-, and ultimo-.... angles, aspects and attributes coming forth and going forward.
I like that he said Black Americans have been the patriot for ever aspect of America. It's not only true but it's also the reason black people can have the freedom to voice our opinion about this country rather you agree or not! The truth can be ugly and sometimes people hate to even stomach real truth. When a black person voice their Truth or freedom of speech regarding this country it isn't an act of terrorist, anti, or any bracket that people like to throw at strong-minded, blunt, and straightforward BAs.
We are the children of Israel God's chosen people. We have been scattered around the world in every nation and put on the bottom because of the disobedience of our forefathers.
It didnot stop enslaved black American who had white in their blood from being a slave there were nothing good right justice ⚖️ to treat another person not like a human bean
The only racist that have the power to do anything are the Democrats in office. They constantly think Black people don’t know what a computer is, or they patronize everyone…. MLK would be ashamed. Remember, he has a message about not the color of your skin but the content of your character…
Dr. King would be on the side of the right because the left hates Dr. King’s ideas. The left has abandoned Dr. King and hates everything about him. The left needs racism to exist.
Mr Gates we need to be responsible for our history and making sure that our African American remains alive , Howeve when you talk about the DNA makeup of our people , No mention of the rapes and violence against our people.Mention the inequity of that time and how we end up with the 24%, Mention the Rice Journal .Be fair and say it ,
Also, there are 2 factions of so many…. French, Indian, Black etc…in America one of the biggest misunderstandings of this is those who came in with the revolutions and those who opposed those very revolutions and each one is significant. The French revolution was against the original French connected to the crown who the revolutionist opposed and wanted annihilated. Differences in religion ways of life and people origins etc …the Haitian revolution is an interesting one as they understand Napoleon B. not to be a true frenchmen but a man from Corsica (Italian ancestry) but came under the name “The French” Haitian culture knowing French history understood the usurping of that dude. And here comes the Haitian Revolution as standing for freedom and truth. French and Indian Wars there were 2 different nations of Indians and French in these wars. etc… Seems we need to be more specific on who what when and how especially that there are more than one group within these conflicts and mostly they are opposite of one another in all things but yet have carried the same name in modern times mainly Black, Indian, White Which tribe? What Land? What origin story? This is def a complex topic and could be explain better but just a thought 💭…..
Israel is not a nation. It is a settler-colonialist project. Nations have a right to exist, but settler-colonialist projects do not. So-called "Israelis" should go back to their TRUE home: Brooklyn.
yes and can I just say that as a white girl with apparently white privilege blah blah blah that minus the word salad vomit repeat cycle that people are on their high horse currently on their journey to getting hit with reality pretty hard but is real listen carefully Israel is the perfect example of every single religion race color ethnicity that is welcome you can go to different prayer places and I always want to frame it like this because it really simple lies things for someone who knows nothing about the history because if Israel is the only place you can do that and they are surrounded by Muslim countriesand they can come to Israel but you can’t go over there should be a moment🎉🎉🎉
what we are dealing with is a generation of kids who have not been taught like the ones before have no recollection of the proper history of the holocaust to hear Jews being called Nazis just literally is garbage it makes no sense but since critical thinking has been dying you are seeing how much of a weapon it can be when you have I will say very very good snake oil salesman selling their my land is taken apart tide BS with Buzz words to these kids that literally just want another cause to hang onto trying to find themselves we all go through it like the hippies an example given to me but I said yeah but you’re making the hippies embarrassed because hippies could tell you exactly what they were out there standing for and they were usually quite articulate and no honey you don’t know if you want to be a boy a girl or a cat and the idea of people having guns to defend themselves makes you cry so as an opinion that is not a problem but when it comes to stuff like this and having to step up for who you are as a country and who you are representing as a country is a huge problem and we are seeing people in high seats right now show their evil show their ugly and that’s great so we know who everyone is and where they stand but I have never been more proud Zionist and I have never felt more sturdy in stance than the unfortunate opportunity to make good on my name for the first time I ever heard a holocaust story that I would never ever except being on the wrong side of history and I would always defend the Jewish people and their right to a home a home that wasn’t even given by man see what people don’t understand is you don’t have to be religious and you don’t have to understand that part but you’re missing a giant part you’re actually missing a part that put your life in danger because whether you believe or not isn’t no issue to the person who does believe that you were in the way and I’m hoping that we can educate and definitely find our voices bigger than ever people are way too tolerant they’re way too quiet Britain is finding us out too and it’s not going to matter what side we are on other than right and wrong. Because when you were not dealing with people that just don’t get along you are dealing with people that have the idea that the fact that you were alive is upsetting to them and against their belief system that is so hard to sync into peoples heads because they just can’t fathom that kind of evil because they will hear that and then automatically say to state solution and drive me crazy and I might be on a limb here but I think every one of those protesters should have to watch the October 7 videos before they decide what they stand for you are sadly also backing someone who would gladly blow you off a building and celebrate so it’s hard to watch it’s hard to see the reality of what mush our minds have come to but critical thinking is not dead yet and we can revive this but it’s going to take a lot of tough love❤❤❤❤🙏🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫶
Show any progressive by any progressive movement that brings all people together....just one will do....where yiu hear progressive....know it is regressive and anti white heterosexuals.
Intersectionality should make people aware of the different life experiences we have, but it has turned into a way to pit people against each other by pairing a privileged group (men or whites) with a marginalized group (women or blacks) and then guilt trip everyone of the privileged group in a very vindictive way. It does the opposite of bringing people together. We are individuals first - not just the result of our identity groups. Why can't we acknowledge systemic problems without implicating everyone of a particular identity group?
@@ChollieD My only objection is guilt tripping people because they belong to a privileged group, holding them personally responsible for someone else's oppression. Robin DiAngelo, who holds seminars on race, tells her all white audience that they are all racist.
Let's get into how we were already here before slavery. How us(so-called African Americans) are the indigenous copper-colored Indians of America and our identity and status has been hijacked by Siberians claiming to be Native Americans.
DR GATES JR have you research and study the Bible about the true day of worship is the 7th Day Saturday. The Catholics are the ones who change the 7th Day Sabbath to Sunday and it was for one purpose that the flock will worship only the Pope.and forgive their sins.
The enslaved in the North gave us Pinkster, the first African American Festival in the U.S. African American Culture has Northern Roots which begin prior to the Great Migration and continues today.
All so called black people are not from African, why are you pushing this narrative. We are the copper color people that the colonizers found ,we have always been here ,the aboriginals, Where are the ships,????? Where? Produce the ships! Do your freaking research! We are the real Indians
“ Jews will not replace us”, I'm afraid they have long replaced you. Israel and America are governed by the same people and the American flag and the Israeli flag have emerged into one under one government. “Winning “😂
We need those friendships now more than ever ! May the world show the courage to open doors to all and to visit all in peace. Thank you to both of these men for the love and courage we need to emulate.
